Miami Heat fans do not want to see their legend Dwyane Wade leave the team, especially after reports stated the Heat only offered him $10 million while other teams are throwing $20 million his way.

I am not ready for there to be a ninth. It may happen, as the shooting guard has failed to reach an agreement with the Heat, the team he had played for every season since he was drafted in 2003.
Whiteside announced his decision on Snapchat and in a post on The Players’ Tribune. Then maybe they’d try to keep Deng, and they still have to bring back Dwyane Wade when the dust settles.
Less than two years after coming to Miami, Whiteside has become one of the game’s most dominant centers – and one of the highest-paid players in Miami franchise history. Dallas is the only one in that group that made the playoffs a year ago, and it was unable to land either of its primary free agent targets today with Hassan Whiteside and Mike Conley agreeing to re-sign with their current teams. He’s been reported to be unhappy with the Heat after they’ve aggressively pursued other free agents without addressing his contract needs. But the problem with the Heat as of now is that they have to go after Hassan Whiteside and Kevin Durant and that they expect Wade to take another pay cut.
Hassan Whiteside returned to the Miami Heat on the first day of National Basketball Association free agency, agreeing to terms on a four-year, $98 million contract. He said that he was open to offers, but eventually returned to the Heat on a one-year, $20 million deal.
Whiteside replies, “Miami”, – as Will Smith’s hit “Welcome to Miami” plays and the words “Heatnation it is” appear on the screen.

But Whiteside is staying and made his announcement with flair. “Great to have you back bro!” This is just another hurdle the Lakers are going to have get past after Kevin Durant’s apparent unwillingness to even hear out the Lakers. He averaged 16.7 points and 5.7 rebounds for the Dallas Mavericks the last two seasons.
